• It contains much more fiber than white rice and pasta and significant amounts of B vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin and especially niacin, which are essential for smooth metabolism and the proper functioning of nerve cells, and therefore the brain. In addition to these vitamins, it contains vitamin E, which contributes to the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, three times more potassium and four times more phosphorus than pasta and white rice, and significant amounts of minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc, as well as trace elements such as selenium, which has a strong antioxidant effect.
